Ararat in Armenia ARMENIE armenia. ararat Informations and links Ararat  Map Ararat Photos Ararat Population on 01-Jan-04 : 20500 ------------------------------- Mount Ararat (Turkish A?r? Da??; Armenian ??????; Persian ??????; Hebrew ????, Standard Hebrew Ararat, Tiberian Hebrew ??r?r??), the tallest peak in modern Turkey, is a snow-capped dormant volcanic cone, located in the far northeast of Turkey, 16 km west of Iran and 32 km south of Armenia. The Book of Genesis identifies this mountain as the resting place of Noah's Ark after the Great Flood described there. A smaller (3896 m) cone, Little Mount Ararat, rises just southeast of the main peak. The lava plateau stretches out between the two pinnacles. Technically, Ararat is a stratovolcano, formed of lava flows and pyroclastic ejecta. The last activity on the mountain was a major earthquake in July 1840 centered around the Ahora Gorge, a northeast trending chasm that drops 1825 metres (6,000 ft) from the top of the mountain. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Armenia prides itself on being the first nation to formally adopt Christianity (early 4th century). Despite periods of autonomy, over the centuries Armenia came under the sway of various empires including the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, and Ottoman. .
